Trial by jury is the palladium of our liberties. I do not know what a palladium is, but I am sure it is a good thing!
Mark TwainRight is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ainโt got no business doing wrong when he ainโt ignorant and knows better.
Mark TwainMan is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which the other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately.
